Get a Job!


OK, so George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson did a pretty good job in helping the United States of America Win their Independence, and they even have had pretty good careers after then, you know being President and such. Unfortunately now, after they have retired, the economy has started to slump and their savings have dwindled. This means good ol’ George, John, Ben and Tom are all going to need to go pick up some cash… and guess who is hiring? McDonalds!

Your assignment is to take on the “character” of George, John, Ben or Thomas and fill out an “application” for a job at McDonalds. You are to fill out this application as that “character,” this means you fill it out “George Washington” where it says “name” don’t write “Your name here.” Fill out this application like you really want the best job possible, the leadership question is very important. Do your best work because after the worksheet is done you will have to do an interview as that person.

You will find this application under;
1. My Computer
2. Shared Drive
3. Fulbright World & U.S. History
4. American History
5. McDonald’s Application.

Download this file and save it to your P: Drive, then open it in a Word Document. You can either fill it out on the computer or print a hard copy to write on.

If you would like an alternative assignment, we can arrange for you to write a three page biography of the character instead.

Due date WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10th at the end of the hour. A letter grade a day will be lost.
